Nono from another world

Chapter 126 The rain is coming
Taking his gaze away from Nim, Nuonuo sat back in the cotton-padded compartment, opened the curtains a little, and stretched out his head to look at the situation outside.

The west was much more desolate than she had imagined. Except for a few big trees occasionally, there was basically no vegetation along the way.As long as there is a little wind, the whole sky will be covered by yellow sand immediately, making people feel a little breathless.

The carriage was heading north all the way, so far that the city gate could no longer be seen in sight, and even the outline of the capital of Dong'an District could not be seen anymore. Then Nuonuo put down the curtain of the carriage, and leaned on the soft cushion of the carriage with a cold expression .

Although this border city is not a small attraction for Nuonuo, she is not in the mood to look at the scenery along the way at this time.Because it stands to reason that after the three of them arrived in Dong'an District, the staff from the local branch should come to receive them.

But when their airship landed, the people who came to meet them only pointed out this place to them, and took them to rent a slightly worn-out carriage, and let them go to this dense forest called the forbidden area by themselves. to go.

In a sense, the receptionist's attitude largely mirrored that of the Western Division.Obviously, the people in Dong'an District didn't take them to heart at all.

Although Nuonuo didn't expect the local investigators to provide them with any help, it would be fine as long as they didn't trip them up secretly.But judging from the current situation, the people in the branch are likely to embarrass them in this mission.

Although I don't know why this is, it is obvious that this has an inevitable connection with the Bureau of Investigation.Thinking of this, Nuonuo's expression suddenly became ugly.It's not because the Bureau of Investigation is deliberately targeting them, but because it's been seven or eight days since the accident happened in the mine in Xi'an District. Time and stumbling, don't they take the mine matter to heart at all?
Nuonuo was extremely dissatisfied with this way of treating people's lives like nothing, but it was a pity that they couldn't do anything for the time being before meeting the people in the branch.

So this made Nuonuo even more depressed.

But at the same time, Nuonuo also had a strong interest in the western division.It's not easy for the people in the western branch to be able to guard such a large area, right?

Thinking of this, Nuonuo couldn't help but muttered to himself: "What kind of place is the branch in Dong'an District?"

After saying this, the figure of the branch chief who had never been masked suddenly appeared in Nuonuo's mind, and a strange look immediately appeared on his face.

The reason why I thought of this branch chief who hadn't met yet was not because Nuo Nuo cared so much about this branch chief, but because it really made people curious to be able to manage such a large area.Especially when the investigator who came to meet them showed a look of admiration on his face when he mentioned the branch chief, Nuonuo became even more curious about this person.

"It's a heavily guarded place, but it's also very lawless." Liuli, who was wearing a long white dress, leaned on the cushion, squinted her eyes and stared outside for a while, then turned her head and said in a cold tone.

"What do you mean?" Nuonuo was slightly taken aback, looked at Liuli sitting in a corner of the carriage, and asked seriously.

Liuli raised her eyebrows, as if she didn't really want to answer this question, but seeing Nuonuo's expectant face, she thought about it, and finally uttered a sentence slowly: "Do you know why a separate branch was set up in the west? ?"

Nuonuo nodded, and said: "I know a little bit, because of the geographical conditions here? Is there any inside story? I'm a little unclear..."

As an outsider, Nuonuo really doesn't know much about other things except for some very basic situations.When she came here this time, she just took a cursory look at the situation of this mission, and really didn't know much about the west.

"Unclear?" Liu Li's face froze, obviously defeated by Nuonuo's ignorance.But after thinking about it, after all, Nuonuo just came to this world not long ago, so it's normal not to know, Liuli said: "What you said just now counts, the west is located on the border of the empire, because it borders other countries, so there is constant turmoil all year round. In addition, innovators often come and go in this area, so the Bureau of Investigation specially set up a branch here. Firstly, it is to effectively and quickly suppress riots when turmoil occurs; secondly, to... Catch and stop the infiltration of innovators."

"Due to the special situation here, once any turmoil occurs, it is difficult for the branch to receive orders from the Empire and the Bureau of Investigation in a timely manner, so the people in the branch have great autonomy. In other words, although the branch is nominally investigating It is a branch of the Bureau, but in fact it is a very independent department... The orders of the Bureau of Investigation are not very effective here. The reason why we received such treatment this time must be because someone in the Bureau of Investigation had a relationship with this Did you say hello?"

"In addition to what I just said, there is the most important point. The western region is vast, coupled with climate and other reasons, so the crystal resources here are particularly rich. One-third of the crystal mines in the empire are located here. .The Bureau of Investigation set up a branch here, also to protect these mines."

"Because of these reasons, the security in the west is extremely tight. You saw it just now? There are so many investigators patrolling just a small Dong'an District, let alone other places. As for lawlessness, wait for us By now, you should know..."

Hearing Liuli's last words, Nuonuo frowned suddenly, the situation in the west is much more difficult than she imagined... It's no wonder that Lena asked her opinion repeatedly that day, in such a place The action was already very difficult, and if the people in the branch deliberately made things difficult for them, it would be really difficult for them to complete the task smoothly.

I have to say that the people from the Bureau of Investigation really did everything they could to hinder them... I just don't know who the person who specially greeted the branch was, could it be the official who appeared in the theater? ?

Nuonuo fell into deep thought, but after only half a second, her brows relaxed.The difficulty of this task is indeed great, but it is also because of this that it is challenging.If they can successfully complete this task, the investigation bureau will not make any more excuses, right?

Liuli has been paying attention to Nuonuo, seeing that she just experienced a moment of confusion, her eyes suddenly became clear and penetrating, and a strange emotion suddenly spread from her heart.

"Could it be that Nuonuo is not in a hurry at all?" Liuli frowned, feeling that Nuonuo was too insecure.But I don't know why, as soon as this idea came up, the picture of Nuonuo going to attack the big bug alone appeared in Liuli's mind.Thinking of this, Liuli opened her mouth slightly, but in the end she still didn't say anything.

There was an instant silence in the carriage.

"By the way, who the hell is that branch chief who can manage such a large area?" After a few seconds, Nuonuo changed to a more comfortable sitting position and stretched his legs and asked.

"Not sure." Liuli looked out the window without looking back, "I heard that he has a very close relationship with the royal family. He is an S-level investigator with strong strength, but because he is too arbitrary, he often doesn't care about the orders from above. , so the reputation among investigators has not been very good."

"S-rank?" Nuonuo was taken aback for a moment, it seems that this branch chief is not a simple role.

Liuli looked at Nuonuo, nodded and said: "It's not that there are such people in the empire, but if it's just based on his background, that person can't be promoted to be the head of the branch, so his strength may be stronger than we imagined." Stronger is..."

Nuonuo nodded and said: "I see, but I think this person should be different from the rumors. If it's just that he is strong, his subordinates shouldn't respect him so much, right? Maybe this person still has A side unknown to outsiders..."

Liuli nodded, not denying Nuonuo's statement.In fact, how can someone who can guard the west for so long be an idler?It should be very difficult for them to deal with such a person.

"The restricted area is ahead, and we will be there soon." At this moment, Nim suddenly turned around and interrupted the conversation between the two.

"So soon?" Nuonuo was stunned for a moment, then took a long breath, and smiled at the two people: "I didn't expect to meet the branch chief so soon, and I don't know if he is related to the rumored Same……"

"Be careful, that branch chief is not a simple role. If he deliberately makes things difficult for us, things may be a bit difficult." Liuli glanced at Nuonuo, with a bit of seriousness on his face.

"Well, I see." Nuonuo nodded, and then smiled again, seeming to be in a good mood.

Liuli glanced at Nuonuo strangely, and seeing her pensive look, she was immediately a little uncertain about what Nuonuo was thinking.
